Function toBytes [src]

Given any value, returns a copy of its bytes in an array.

Prototype

pub fn toBytes(value: anytype) [@sizeOf(@TypeOf(value))]u8

Example

 test toBytes {
    var my_bytes = toBytes(@as(u32, 0x12345678));
    switch (native_endian) {
        .big => try testing.expect(eql(u8, &my_bytes, "\x12\x34\x56\x78")),
        .little => try testing.expect(eql(u8, &my_bytes, "\x78\x56\x34\x12")),
    }

    my_bytes[0] = '\x99';
    switch (native_endian) {
        .big => try testing.expect(eql(u8, &my_bytes, "\x99\x34\x56\x78")),
        .little => try testing.expect(eql(u8, &my_bytes, "\x99\x56\x34\x12")),
    }
}
